Norfolkline - Best ferry company 2008
Norfolkline have been voted ‘Best Ferry Company’ at this year's Guardian, Observer and guardian.co.uk Travel Awards.
This was the 22nd year of the awards, with results being determined on the basis of over 17,000 questionnaires being returned by Guardian and Observer readers.
The ‘Best Ferry Company’ award recognises the services of Norfolkline Irish Sea and Cross Channel passenger operations which run from Belfast and Dublin to Liverpool and Dover to Dunkirk. Norfolkline will also start a new service between Rosyth (Edinburgh) and Zeebrugge in spring next year.
Like many ferry companies, Norfolkline have witnessed a change in consumer attitude towards ferry travel with more and more considering it to be a cost effective and straightforward way to travel with ease of check-in, security and unlimited baggage allowance.
The awards ceremony for this prestigious award was held in Fes (Morocco) on Saturday 10th October with Norfolkline's Don Clarke on hand to pick-up the 'Best Ferry Company' award on behalf of Norfolkline.
